The purpose of engobe is to cover and smooth the surface of the ceramic body. With an appropriate formulation it can be used to seal the body from the action of contaminating particles and provide a white surface onto which the glaze is applied, thus minimising problems resulting from variations in the tone of the body material.

Each engobe must have the specific technical characteristics that make it possible to smooth the tile and ensure that the glaze is adapted to the body and that prevent seepage of water, which could lead to the formation of marks, particularly in the case of transparent glazes.

Colorobbia’s Customer Support Laboratory will carefully study all the variables involved and advise you as to the choice of the most suitable engobe for each case.
